The Jeep was traveling east on Stevens Lane just west of Widows Road when it left the roadway and hit a tree, Arnold said. It is unknown how long the vehicle was there before it was discovered. "They may have been there 20 minutes, or a half-hour before we got the call," Arnold said. "It's not a well-traveled road."
